Legacy Of Fire: Chronicles Of The F-ranked Anomaly-Chapter 31: Rematch Begins

{Notice! Defeat Slav The Greed!}

Darius swallowed hard; he was looking at something that he knew could kill him in one swoop, and the mission read kill it.

He carefully took a step back. He was looking at the beast, and he knew that there was not going to be an easy way for him to even think of winning against it.

’One wrong move and I am done for.’

Slav growled, shaking the very core of the dungeon and scaring even Darius more than before.

"Come on, child, I can smell your fear. I want to give you a quick and painless end. That is all I can give you since you were able to come back here." The beast taunted Darius, it was as if it wanted him to make a wrong step and get himself killed.

Darius’s mind flashed through when he and Hank’s raid team had first encountered the beast. He could remember his abilities and what he was going to be able to do to him if he was not careful. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

’I can’t stand here all day, can I now? There has to be something I can do.’ Darius was looking at the creature when he felt his entire body spike up, showing him there was an incoming danger.

Darius turned to see the Basilisk tail coming towards him, he was about to jump out of the way only to notice that he couldn’t move.

{Warning! Slav has activated stone gaze!}

Darius stood there and collected the hit from the Basilisk tail, the blow sent him crashing into the walls. Darius staggered, trying to stand and hold his breath.

"What... in the world was that?" Darius tried his best to make sure that he would be breathing,

"It’s futile, child. You are going to die here. I will enjoy devouring your skull!" Slav roared, charging for Darius. It was fast, almost hitting Darius with its fangs.

Darius was able to dodge the blow in a split second, he landed on his feet. He fixed his eyes on the basilisk, and he was not going to be letting it walk away alive.

"This isn’t like last time. I am not going to die here, and I will make sure you die here!" Darius pulled out his swords. he was looking at Slav, and he was not going to let anything put him down.

’Darius, this isn’t your normal threat. Proceed with caution!’ Azree warned.

’Don’t worry, Azree, this isn’t going to be a problem. It is just like the red cobra, and you said I had a 67% chance of beating that one.’

Darius kept his eyes on Slav, not wanting to remove his eyes from the beast even for a second.

’I know I said that, but you shouldn’t think so lowly of this beast it will...’

’Don’t worry Azree, I will handle it.’ Darius had extreme confidence in his skills, and he thought that nothing was going to be putting him down for anything and that he was going to annihilate the beast.

Slav let out a cold laugh, he was looking at Darius. "So you think you can hurt me, just because you have the great one by your side?"

"Great one? I don’t have anyone by my side, I have myself alone, so let’s dance ugly!" Darius charged for Slav, he was aiming for the basilisk skull, trying to strike it down.

Suddenly, Darius couldn’t move anymore. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach; it felt paralyzing. Darius fell to his knees as he began vomiting blood.

"What in the world is going on?" Darius looked up, only to see Slav’s tail closing in on him with a dangerous speed. He couldn’t do anything to block the hit, taking it straight on. The force from the tail sent Darius crashing into the dungeon walls, causing a dent there.

{Warning Slav Activated Unpurification! An unholy spell that would kill any weaker being.}

"So, does this mean that I am not a weaker being?" Darius struggled to get on his feet.

’Your regeneration is helping you survive this, but I don’t know how far it will take you!’ Azree sounded a bit worried.

"Don’t worry, I just have to find a weakness and I will be..."

{Incoming attack!}

Darius looked up to see that the basilisk was almost in front of him. he tried to jump out of the way, but he was locked to the floor.

{Slav has activated Petrification! Unique Skill: Freezing the Basilisk’s prey!}

’Shit! Activate Dragon’s Glare!’ Darius was not going to stand there and let the basilisk get a hit on him, he was not going to die there.

{Dragon’s Glare Activated!}

{Effects Of The Petrification has been removed!}

Darius tries to jump out of the way so Slav won’t get a hit on him, but he is not fast enough. Slav manages to strike him once more.

Darius struck another wall, the impact seemed to have broken some of his bones.

{Regeneration Activated!}

{Warning: Can Only Heal 50% of damages collected in this fight!}

’What is going on?’ Darius looked at the beast, confused; he didn’t even know what he was going to be facing next or what the monster was going to do.

{Slav activated dominion over the weak- Unique skill that halves the abilities of the opponents, making it hard for them to fight back.}

"What is wrong, child?" Slav rushed for Darius, The serpent was fast as it crawled to Darius, destroying anything that stood in its path.

It used its tail to strike Darius, knocking him down to the floor.

"I told you, child, no matter what you do, it is going to be futile! For entertaining me for this long, I will honor you by making your skull a trophy." Slav taunted Darius, it went closer to end Darius.

Darius could feel the beast coming close to him, trying to end him.

’No, no! Not yet!’ Darius was trying his best to get up, he gathered the energy to push Slav’s tail a bit.

Slav smiled; it was looking at Darius and the little effort he was putting in to make sure that he was not going to die. "What an indomitable spirit! But that is not going to save you from me!"

Darius kept pushing back up, trying not to get crushed by the basilisk.

"I am not going to get crushed here! Not here, not now!" Darius kept pushing, not letting anything keep him down to the ground.

The screen popped up.

{Skill Conversion- Taunts Of The Fallen- Dragon’s Taunt!}

’Activate!’ Darius was not taking chances with Slav.

{Dragon’s Taunts Activated- Opponents or monsters within would be immobilized!}

Almost immediately, Slav released Darius, giving him a chance to jump back, Slav crawling back a bit, locking its eyes on Darius.

"I must say, you are the first mortal to live this long. I find it both amusing and irritating. You are pulling palor tricks just to distract me, how pathetic." Slav shook off the effects of the skill, it was looking at Darius, eager to see what he would pull off next. "So tell me, do you have any more tricks for me?"

Darius, struggling to breathe, was looking at the beast. He knew that he was not going to be winning with just skills, but he would need to make sure that nothing would distract him.

"I have plenty more left." Darius gave Slav a quick response while pulling his swords up. "C’mon, let’s dance ugly!"
